but there was a shshing moment in that video... when a heroic 13-year old boy stood up to the bus driver. tonight, that brave teen sat down exclusively with our aaron brilbeck. "it's just because of how i was raised basically. i was taught a sense of right or wrong. and i knew that that was really wrong what he was doing."this is 13-year old caleb routt. you may recognize him from this video. he's the kid standing up to 61-year old school bus driver robert scarbrough after scarbrough pushed down a student with special needs. caleb says that student...15-year old christian suarez, really started the whole conflict by refusing to move to the front of the bus.

"the bus driver turned around and said don't throw stuff at me. and then christian yells a profanity at him. and after that the bus driver says don't talk to me that way and he ripped him out of his seat and like hit him across the face."that's when caleb stood up for the other boy.. "i like didn't think it was right. i was scared but like i knew what should be done and nobody else seemed to be doing it at the time. so i told the bus driver to stop and he told me he said you're next."but caleb stood his ground "after he told me to sit down he just flipped everybody off and walked up to the front of the bus and kept driving."a lot of people are saying caleb is kind of a hero for standing up to the bus driver like that.

action at the time of the veto.. 23:53-24:10 clearly people understand there is a separation of powers. the legislature has certain powers. the governor has certain power. and i do have the power veto and the legislature if they feel its inappropriate can override that veto and they didn't. and that's why we believe the court made the decision they did governor branstad says the state is redesigning how the state deals with mental health care... adopting a more community based system, institutions in cherokee and independence will remain open. six people are behind bars after osceola business. five of the suspects are charged with prostitution. daveta williams is charged with and driving while barred. all six are being held at the clarke county jail. four departments helped the osceola p-d conduct the sting. the polk county health department says meat served at a roosevelt high school luncheon, is the source

police equipment at the crime scene, including pepper spray, a baton and his personal glasses, in an attempt to mislead first-responders and investigators to believe it was a homicide scene. additionally, gliniewicz had experience staging mock crime scenes for police explorer training. the investigation also concluded that gliniewicz strategically aimed the first of two shots from his own weapon at the lower abdominal area, striking his cell phone and bulletproof vest, which absorbed most of the impact of the first shot. on the day he died, gliniewicz radioed that he was chasing three suspicious men. his death led to a large manhunt, but no arrests were made. the gliniewicz family attorney say the family will not comment at this time. the reward for information death of a nine year old shot and killed in chicago has been increased. tyshawn lee was gunned down in an alley while walking home from school.

and gas money. pella to davenport is 149 miles. grimes to davenport, 175 miles. norwalk to davenport, 182 miles. so the reason undefeated pella drives to davenport is proximity. once paired, it comes down to alphabet, and this year, assumption's "a" trumps pella's "p". another gripe, number 1 albia playing 2nd ranked south tama. first, rankings do not matter to the association. it's district record and geography. so again, distance. tama to albia: 79 miles. the 2 other possible teams, anamosa and mount vernon. mount vernon to albia: 133 miles. anamosa to albia: 149 miles. iowa state's mike warren is the most productive freshman running back in america. he's also from lawton, oklahoma. so how did the sooners miss this guy? warren needs 46 yards at
